Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30297 — The hadd punishment for wine: how

Hudayn Abu Sasan said: Some people of Kufah rode to Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him of al-Walid bin Uqbah's (may Allah be pleased with him) drinking wine. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke to him about this. Sayyiduna Uthman said: Go to your cousin and carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on him. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Hasan! Stand up and flog him. He said: You are not suited to this act! Entrust it to someone other than yourself. He said: Rather, you have become weak, feeble and helpless. O Abdullah bin Ja'far, stand up. So he began to flog him while Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) kept count, until they reached forty. He said: Stop, or he said: Hold back. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave forty lashes, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also gave forty lashes, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) completed it to eighty lashes, and all of them are Sunnah practices.
